Industry veteran Elisabet Dahlman Löfgren, who left Mannheimer Swartling after 22 years as a lawyer and has been in charge of the company's legal tech initiatives for the past seven years, is the fourth co-founder. "I've seen almost all of the legal IT startups.
I joined Qura for a reason: unlike most GenAI chatbots that are having trouble finding a use case in the legal industry, we actually address a problem, which is finding intelligence in large databases. Elisabet Dahlman Löfgren stated, "We are gaining market share because of this.
Arvid Winterfeldt, CEO said, " The legal tech market is in the middle of a hyper-growth revolution, and AI solutions are flooding in. ChatGPT created hype around the ability of LLMs to chat and write. Qura is one of the first solutions to showcase LLMs' ability to read, understand and connect oceans of text. That is where we aim to become world leading."
